Network-Based Software Architecture is a subfield of the area of Software Architectures that deals with the conceptual structure of a software system that primarily runs on a network, e.g. Apache Web Server.
As software increased in size, interaction, and sophistication, the need for a conceptual or a birds-eye-view of a software system became a central issue in software engineering research in the early 90s [4]. While the field has not reached the level of maturity that building architecture, for example, enjoys, it has started finding its way into mainstream software development and "software architects" have become a commodity.
